“We have checked with AVA and they are not there,” said the organisation in a Facebook post today. “We have been told that there is CCTV surveillance at the local power station and we are urging relevant authorities to assist us with the footage.”
“Such violence against helpless animals is beyond our comprehension,” added the animal welfare group, urging people with information to contact them at [email protected].
This is the latest in a spate of cat deaths at Yishun. There have been at least seven deaths reported in the last two weeks.
On Oct 1, the Yishun 326 Tabby cat Facebook page posted that a cat was found dead at block 135 that morning. The group also reported one cat death discovered at block 123 on Sept 25. On Sept 26, a post on the Facebook page said two cats had sustained the same injuries and died overnight in the area of Yishun Street 22 Block 281. “We suspect they were abused. We appeal for information and witnesses. We are aware there’s someone going around to different spots in Yishun to kill cats. Please help us keep an eye on our helpless and trusting community cats,” the Sept 26 post said.
